Question about tipping

Many providers are struggling, and getting an extra $25 from customers can start to add up. For a provider who averages one appointment a day, that's an extra $750 per month. For a provider who averages 2 appointments a day, that's an extra $1,500 per month.

I'm a little different. To me if one makes 20 an hour and the boss decides to give the guy a 25 cent an hour raise most are gonna be like "you gotta be shittin me right". They'd rather the company wait for a significant raise rather than insult with a quarter. To me 25 bucks when your making 300 hr Isherwood same scenario in my eyes.

That said however I'm not a provider and I can't relate to being one so who knows.

Still I don't tip but will pay more due to various reasons.

Military strength baby wipes?
Wow, certainly those things would freshen me up, thus increasing my tips

I bet Wakeup loves pussy that has been freshly wiped with a military baby wipe, it brings him back to the good ole days ... Hell, I bet he even tips when he smells that military freshness

[joecholo]

Here you go BW. Military strength baby wipes that will make even the stinkiest poontang stink good!

I guess military strength baby wipes are good to have because some poontang's can have some military strength stink!!!

[Wakeup]

Methinks Brooke has missed the concept of the Ignore function again...oh wait...

Tip me after if you want to; some girls actually ask for tips.

And as far as tipping goes, I certainly don't think most ladies expect it, but it is always appreciated, regardless if its 25£ or 100£. I personally notice a difference in the amount and frequency of tipping depending on the region. For me, I get tipped about 70-80% of the time in places like DC, New York, San Francisco, & Seattle. Whereas most places in the southeast, probably 30-40% of the time...I do however find tipping before the sesh even takes place to be a bit odd..

For instance, one would not tip your interior decorator...thats just dumb.
If you don't see the difference, check it out...
Go to an excellent restaurant... you can tip the waiter without problem.
Try calling the chef out and see if he will accept a tip. If he is well known, it is very unlikely that he will accept your money...he doesn't want or need it for his art.
You may disturb him by offering.

Go to any top hotel and try to tip the concierge, they too will politely decline.
In the hobby, Hobbiests are just not fiscally reasonable...that is putting it politely.

Just my $0.02

I suspect they will continue to serve you, just as the chef or concierge would...
If they were truely professionals, they would have smiled and declined your "tip"...there are several providers on this board that have and will do so.

Tipping ettiquette is based on non-professional low paid positions.
Perhaps your actions just confirmed your penchant for irrational expenditures and she now knows you are a dumb ass who will likely pay more with a little upsell.

That is, of course, your perogative.
Hell, no one here would bitch at you if you forked over your entire months wages for a 30 minute blowjob...tip away..
We are all, of course, just glad you had a good time.

Another version of upselling.

[linux]

I tip waitresses or delivery people that make a couple of bucks an hour.

[Dorian Gray]

Ah.... Mr. Pink. When waitresses made minimum wage.

Tipping is not a town in China...

[guest032413]

I don't care for tips, the worst is accepting a tip and then a guy expects you to something you're not comfortable with and tries to pressure you.
And it's a turn off when a guy says at the beginning of the session "If you do a good job I'm a big tipper" And then he pulls out his wallet and hands over the only $20 bill in there

Hard to say spending any money in the hobby is rational. I do have a bit of logic to what I do but you and I have argued that before in another board. Clearly you have your stand point and I give you credit. It appears that you have put some real thought into what you believe.

I happen to disagree with your views and I have my reasons which are also well thought out. My main objection to what you do is that you try to pressure people into acting with your belief system. "If she had been a real professional she would have refused" or "you are a dumb ass"

You don't know me who I hobby with or anything else. I could explain why I do what I do but that will get us no where as you are who you are. You are a much more well known hobbiest than I am. If you don't believe it ask any random 10 providers "what do you know about inctown" most will say "who". Ask those same 10 about you I doubt "rationale spender of his money I respect him for that" will be stated it will be something derogatory as they roll their eyes.

Perhaps true...same with golf or other activities only done for "fun"

Thank you sir, you are a gentlemen and a scholar.

Apologies to anyone who felt "pressured" by this comment. In my attempt to communicate a well known behavioral characteristic of "tipping" ettiquette, I should have removed any first person context...
The only "pressure" to be applied here would be based on logic and reason...not my personal preferences...

You don't know me who I hobby with or anything else. I could explain why I do what I do but that will get us no where as you are who you are. You are a much more well known hobbiest than I am. If you don't believe it ask any random 10 providers "what do you know about inctown" most will say "who".

You make an excellent point about what one KNOWS vs. what one THINKS they know...
You are correct about the "rational spender of money"...LOL...those that know me well know I spend way too much on people in the hobby.

Being well known...that can happen over years of hobbying/posting, especially if one does not change handles or positions on different boards... for whatever reason.

As for asking any 10 random providers anything...of the estimated 60,000 Houston providers...it is highly unlikely that 10 random providers will know anything about me at all.
If we limit the "random" Houston providers to the ones on this board, say less than 1000 total...all they could say would be what they have read or had been told...unless they have personal experience.

Hence, dis-information abounds in the hobby as unverified stories are passed as valid...
Sometimes such info is so hurtful people actually leave the boards, others have thicker skins and eventually the truth comes out.

My intention was not to offend you over your tipping proclivities...it was only to point out that from my perspective...they are somewhat mis-aligned with what the rest of the 100-500/hr professionals expect in the business world.

We all know the girls (professionals) want more money...some even try to work for it...a little.

Pay what you want...the only pressure you should feel is your peers looking at you like they would anyone that overpays for anything.
Hell...Give the guy in Stop&Go and extra $20 for gasoline next time you fill up...I certainly don't care.

My only comment would be...
Consider that the provider works for you...they are not your friend or lover.
don't be so naive as to think that the overpaided providers do not roll their eyes behind your back...
You make some very good points.
